Jennifer Rubio
Periodically, as I skim newspaper articles on line or in the local papers for an article that peaks my interest. This week the article that peaked my attention was one wrote by Jennifer Rubio of the Washington Post titled “Trumps campaign turmoil suggests his greatest weakness”. (Robin, paragraph 4) At first I thought hmm this is just another campaign dirty article about Presidential hopeful Donald Trump, but as I read it, I thought deeper about the message the author was trying to convey. This is an article about lack of character, self-respect, weakness, self-actualization and the overall inability to become an example for the American citizens. This article is not just about the Presidential hopeful Mr. Trump, it’s about what is missing in the United States at this time. In the article Robin states that “What may be most disturbing to GOP onlookers is that all of this is now entirely “normal” in the Trump campaign circus. This is powerful statement that has truth to it. The entire campaign has been a haphazard mismanaged ring or character, and I do mean characters, of people who seem to …show more content…
What have we come to in America when one of our only candidates is volatile and intellectually unfit to run for president? Jennifer Robin also states “that when forced into a corner, Trump will crack.” (Robin, Paragraph 8) Unfortunately, Mr. Trumps has a delicate, but monstrous ego, which enthralls his explosive unpredictable behavior. This campaign has been a whirl wind of irrational behavior, with back pedaling and rationalizing bad behavior, instead of just admitting when he has

    In the Michael Nelsons critique of James David Barber and the Psychological Presidency, he discusses important concepts from Barber’s book The Presidential Character. During his critique he explains that Barber cites a study of network evening news coverage of the 1972 election campaign which found that almost as much time was devoted to the polls, strategies, rallies, and other “horse-race” elements of the election as to the candidate’s personal qualifications and issue stands combined.…

    The organization offer vacation time depending on the amount of time that an individual has been employed with the organization. A full time employee will accrue anywhere from 6.46 pay days off per pay (PDO) period through 9.53 PDO hours per pay period The vacation time is made up of accrued PDO hours. PDO hours start to accrue on the date of hire and may be taken after 90 days of being steadily employed with the organization. The accrued PDO hours are not just used for vacation time; PDO hours can be used to make up lost hours from work, funeral day, and for personal leave of absentees. This organization allows each full time employee a one week vacation after one year of employee, and a two weeks’ vacation after three years of employment and that is as high as vacation plan goes. There is at least one disadvantage that I can think of for this PDO plan, and that is that if you are taking time off for a vacation or a funeral you have to fill out paper work and everyone knows why you are absent from work. It is my opinion that an integrated paid time…

    Dowd uses a sarcastic tone to emphasize and make what she is trying to say about Trump very clear. Her frequent use of sarcasm is used to not only point out President Trump’s flaws, but also to present them in negative light. In her February 11th column on political activism (“Trump’s Gold Lining”), Dowd states, “Trump has made facts great again. By distorting reality so relentlessly, he has put everyone on…

    The strategies I would use for applying creativity to the problems and issues in addressing the topic of, Missouri Congressman Todd Akin, and the article on his stance on abortion and rape victims would be to first change the title of the article. While the title is very catchy and hooks the audience from the beginning, it also throws a big sign that says, “Read me I am biased”. The next strategy I would use would be analogy. This particular topic is a very sensitive topic and because of the sensitivity I would use free association along with analogy, and give real life examples and let the audience produce their own bias. I can see why the columnist has a bias but by using analogy, and free association I believe the same results can be achieved without shouting, “Hey, I am biased!”…

    On June 16, 2015, in the extravagant Trump Tower of New York City, Donald John Trump announced his candidacy for the 2016 presidency. While most Americans raised their eyebrows in bewilderment, comedians erupted in a dance that Happy Feet would envy. His bombastic personality, amorphous hair, and poorly photographed facial expressions have become some of the most popular political punchlines. Critics dissect his statements and possible solutions until they seem unrealistic, and some are, like building a “YUGGEEE” wall to separate America and Mexico. While Trump is one of the most successful men in America, he is portrayed in media to be an ignorant idiot by YouTubers, comedy writers, and even respected…

    Firstly, an exploration of Trump’s life experiences, and the relationship he had with his father will highlight experiences that contributed to his personality complexion. Trump was born in 1946, the fourth child of five children of Frederick and Mary Trump. Throughout the course of his childhood, Trump displayed a high aptitude for leadership, and demonstrated this in his relationships with family, friends, and peers. He also displayed very assertive and aggressive tendencies during elementary school, which resulted in his parents sending him to military school at the age of thirteen (Trump, 1987). It was here that Trump learned the art of ‘playing people’ and this would be an important contributor to his…

    Them” mentality and alienating the implied arguer. Using phrases such as “published by our people” draws a greater following. She writes with this tone to induce compassion and reinforce the theme of unity with the underprivileged minorities of the time. Despite using only phrases, she creates a microsimulation of hypotheticals to strengthen her argument “it is … us “(lines 29-39). By stimulating and provoking more writers and hate, she creates a win-win situation for herself. If people support her, she wins, and, if they do not, then the article is further strengthened by predicting the behavior of the opponent. This is an effective tool used in modern times including the current President’s pre-election double-binds. Thus, justifying necessity of her writing is effectively pursued and executed using these…

    Fantasia Barrino

    My first choice would have been a movie called Freedom Writers, however, since Brittany has already discussed it I’ll discuss another movie. The movie that is the next most powerful story I know is called “The Fantasia Barrino Story: Life Is Not a Fairy Tale.” Most of you probably have seen it before, if not you probably remember Fantasia Barrino whom was the winner of American Idol: Season 3. When Fantasia Barrino was in high school she was raped, she felt so alone after the attack and thought no one would believe her so she dropped out of school. Now Fantasia was a teenage dropout who had no money, no education and no chance at a real future. At 16, Fantasia found herself in an abusive relationship that left her pregnant and lost. But she refused to give up on her dreams. This movie tells how this inspiring young single mom used her incredible voice to become an American Idol, as well as a Grammy®-nominated, platinum-selling recording artist. This movie was very emotional because when the movie got towards the middle I was crying my eyes out. This movie has made Fantasia Barrino my idol and it had a really huge impact on me because my story is similar to hers so I can relate. The author of this movie had an effect of her audience by the way the movie was interesting from beginning to the end. Another way is because this movie is very encouraging to young women and even some men too. In my narrative next week I would like to write about never giving up on your dreams.…

    The tensions and distrust of Republican officials by the disenfranchised party members has provided the backdrop to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. In the current presidential election Republican candidate Donald Trump has been covered more extensively than any other candidate. Much of Donald Trump’s rhetoric are centered around shock value statements that make perfect controversial sound bites that are then repeatedly played on news channels, television shows, and posted online. According to an estimate by the New York Times the air time Donald Trump has received is worth over two billion dollars. Regardless of the fact that much of the coverage Trump has received the main value of all of that television coverage has been name recognition.…

    Trump Controversy

    The article then proceeds to question why Trump would imitate a man who has difficulty moving at least one of his limbs by madly thrashing his own. Evidence pertaining to who might be the intended audience is, “ is it asking too much for these people who are constantly attacking him to actually know what they are talking about? To be honest brokers of information? To be just a bit judicious?”( Kerry Jackson), and how this refers to the intended audience is words used such as ridiculous and fake referencing that the audience are people who similarly think that the social media bashing this topic are not aware of it in anyway. This article or source proves to be not credible due to the amount of bias shown towards the “lies” directed toward the event surrounding Trump’s name and accusations that evidence is apparent of being fake and a form of support to the anti-trump and anti- republican ideology. Statements such as “The lesson here is while the Democrats, and the branch of the DNC that’s also known as the media, are doing all they can to smear Trump as a depraved, crude and hateful man, the people who best fit under those terms are his accusers.”( Kerry Jackson) , leaves…
